Is it reasonable that I'm uncomfortable with people ranting about fandoms I'm part of, even if their criticisms a) aren't about me and b) are things I completely agree with? I mean, it doesn't really make sense, but is it reasonable for me to leave chat rooms when people do it and block tags when people tag it (my friends have a unique tag for their fandom rants, which I know they aren't obligated to do, and they don't do it just for me, but I appreciate it anyway)?

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Of course it's reasonable! Some people really aren't into arguing/negativity/whatever, and as long as you don't try to force people to stop it's perfectly fine.

I think so? I feel that way about Buffy. Not when people rant about specific characters, but when people rant about storylines or seasons. Or when people hate the whole show or Joss. I love all 7 seasons and I get defensive when people start hating on the later seasons. Even though they are as entitled to their opinion as I am, I still feel defensive.

[intrigueing]

It sounds perfectly reasonable. There's a really different feel when a fellow fan rags on some aspect of something you love and you know they love, and when an outsider does it. It's kind of like how you might complain about your family all the time, but you won't take kindly to other people complaining about your family.

And sometimes it feels like "yeah, I KNOW this already, everyone knows this already, why rant about it instead of talking about the good parts?" when it comes to stuff that you like even when you know it has certain flaws.

I sometimes rant about things I love too, but there are moments when I'm just not in the mood to do that, or to listen to other people do it. Especially if it's something that most people already acknowledge as flawed, and so you feel like you've already heard the complaint a hundred times before and aren't getting anything 'new' out of it. Maybe you just want to focus on the positive?

As long as you aren't jumping in, telling them off over it (which I'm sure isn't the case!), feeling that way is perfectly fine!

I think that's really understandable.

[diet_poison]

I mean. you can leave a chat room at any time if you're not comfortable for any reason.

as for the complaining itself, I feel context might help, but maybe? I mean is it that you're so embarrassed because of how ranty people are instead of them stating their issues reasonably?
